Monday, August 2 through Monday, September 6

RT construction crews will temporarily close the 12th & I light rail station from Monday, August 2 through Monday, September 6, 2010, to perform station improvements as part of the Alkali Flat/La Valentina and 12th & I Light Rail Station Improvement Project.

In order to expedite completion of the project and minimize disruptions for passengers and neighbors surrounding the station, construction will take place from Monday, August 2 until the start of light rail service on Tuesday, September 7.

During construction, light rail trains will operate through the 12th & I light rail station, but passengers will not be able to exit and/or board. As an alternative, passengers should use the Alkali Flat/La Valentina or Cathedral Square light rail stations.

Funding for the Alkali Flat/La Valentina and 12th & I Light Rail Station Improvement Project was received through a grant from the Sacramento Area Council of Governments (SACOG) Community Design program, which is administered by the California Transportation Commission (CTC) and the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans).

The improvements for the 12th & I light rail station include:

• New raised boarding platform and removal of existing vertical lift
• Shelters with high output lighting on raised boarding platforms
• New seating and trash receptacle
• Improved irrigation
• Miscellaneous plant and tree replacements
• Repainting
• General infrastructure improvements
